i wish there were age requirements for mics

i was playing COD4 today and i dont know what kids mother baught him the game but the kid had the absolute most annoying things to say. i dont mind if younger kids play, i dont even if they use a mic (i was young once :)) but i do notice that many of these kids cannot filter what is an intelligent thought and what is not. i just dont need to hear a high pitched voice tell me the most obvious things like "we gotta get the bomb guys" or "were loosing" ahaha. idk this is a random thread but yea i dont think im the only one bothred by this

please disregaurd any mispelled words...im kinds sleepy

I know there's no way you can ever regulate people who use mics, but I too would love a way to stop some people getting them. I wouldn't get rid of all people under 16 or anything either, I know most people evne if they are kids aren't out to annoy other gamers. I was playing SOCOM when I was 14 and I never felt the urge to act like a dickhead on the mic for a brief stint of cheap enjoyment. But you still get a lot of people being generally annoying.

I had a guy on CoD4 yesterday making meowing cat noises constantly. And in CoD4 you can't mute....*sigh*

Then you get the people who don't realise we can al hear your TV/music in the background, and we don't really want to listen to it whilst shooting terrorists.

Are you serious?

Yeah... I think we all have this problem. Especially with Guitar Hero III. People try to mess with you to screw you up, and sometimes I can't make out what they're saying to come up with a comeback. Being that GH's fanbase is mostly drunken frat boys and angry nerds.

Too soon?

How do you mute? I haven't fidured it out yet lolpandadude01

I thought you knew, lol, well I'm getting this game anyways, but it still sucks if you can't mute. I can't play R6V without muting someone.

Oh Ok I thought you were like 'Are you serious you don't know how to mute!!!'

And as far as I'm aware you can't mute other people. It's really annoying. Fortunately there aren't too many people trying to be clever on the mic, but when you do find one, that's when you need a mute option.

Theres always one of those in every game you play. It reminds me of socom for the ps2, i luv playin the game online but all those annoying kids made me want to go to their house and shove and granade up their mouthSupremeRoyalist

L O FREAKING L

I don't mind high pitched voices as long as they ONLY speak when necessary, and aren't just talking for the sake of using their mic. pandadude01

yea and like u said earlier i too was in my mid teens playing socom 2. but unless i was messing around with my buddies i to took things very seriously. but yea this is why god created the mute. if only cod4 used it

yea mate I always took it seriously, I was also part of a fairly competetive clan, Xtreme Assassins. We were top 20 on gamebattles for SOCOM 2 anyway. Nothing special, but better than most, and we certainly wouldn't have got so high had I been an annoying little s*** on the mic lol. It was a great clan, but I've lost contact with all of them since SOCOM, which is a shame.

this is what the halo community needs, everytime i have played it at a mates house there are annoying little 10 and 12 year old who just talk for the sake of being heard. maybe there should be a minimum age? but it would be impossible to enforce .

what they could do is have a report system where if one player gets too many reports within a short amount of time there mics become ineffective in game for like 2 days or something. this would work because people who offend all the time would eventually stop, because they would be sick of being bared and others would be more careful what they say in fear of being banned. i guess people would learn that using the mic is a privillage not a right.

same but my clan kinda sucked. ahhaa seal force 1 [SF1]..... i look back and i wonder how i was able to convince people to join my clan back then when i was a kid. i think the new socom will allow me to get a more full experiance. i just hope its more like socom 2 and doesnt have gynormous maps like socom 3(i felt like they tried to make the game to much like battlefeild

i think even more then mics the worst thing is how hard it is to join a game. you cannot pick the server u want to join and when serching for a game it may take a few minutes to find one or create a new one. some of that should change though when there are more users online in the future but in the first week its kinda annoying.
